I am guessing that a guy wanted to impress his date, drank too much beer, got too much lovin' doing the chicken dance and strolled out without his coolness ticket (the iPhone4). You know everyone at Apple now knows him and if he is still employed - you know that when he walks by...they all just stop and stare at him and you only hear the sounds of crickets. As a former HR manager if iPhone dude hasn't already been fired, they are watching him like a hawk and documenting everything he does (even how many times he goes to the bathroom...don't laugh...it happens and oh the stories I could tell). But here is the real kicker in all of this, Lufthansa Airlines has made a public offer to the iPhone dude for a complimentary Business Class ticket to Munich - they took notice of his passion of German Arts and Culture and told him that he could check out the Bavarian Beer Garden Lounge in the Lufthansa terminal and continue where he left off. I wish that Southwest Airlines still had their, "Wanna Get Away" campaign.....featuring an iPhone dude look-alike would have been a slam dunk. What a shame, it would have been a golden campaign.
I am not the iPhone dude, but I am the "Hi, my name is Donna" woman and I am gonna a throw caution to the wind and provide some win-win situations from my vantage point:
1. I left my heart in San Francisco - c'mon Rice-A-Roni....a ticket to the City by the Bay for me and a companion...I am sure that I will find my heart somewhere down on the wharf or on a cable car.
2. I left a pineapple in my trunk once...found it once I smelled it - are you listening Dole...a ticket to Hawaii for a fresh pineapple and I promise I will stop praising the benefits of coconuts...mahalo.
3. Never had a Brazilian wax - are you listening Rio de Janeiro Board of Tourism....a ticket to Rio for a "brazilian" in Brazil.....it makes sense to me. I will sing "The Girl from Ipanema" the entire time.....seu bom.
4. I dressed up as the Chiquita Banana woman once.....Namaste (hello),
India (producers 16.8 million metric tons of bananas) I am natural to visit and as a double bonus I love Indian food. AND the most favorite name of an employee I hired is Indumathi Visvanath (She is great. Say her name fast three time and it will become your favorite too).
5. G'day mate.....I am from the land Oz (Kansas) and it only seems natural that I should to the Land Down Under (everyone sing along) also know as Oz....I have tried Vegemite - not a big fan, but I am a big Banjo Paterson who penned Waltzing Matilda and we have a didgeridoo at our house. "There' no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home." "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...Oi, Oi, Oi." It make sense to me.
Lufthansa did it. Southwest, American, Richard Branson, et al - think about the partner opportunities you are missing.....I have my iphone - call me.
